As we approach our centenary year at Belmont House School, we wanted to look back, and reconnect with former pupils, near and far. Here we have a list of thoughtful questions that we ask our alumni focusing on their lives, successes, and the school’s influence.
Name: Adam Aziz
Time period as a pupil at Belmont House: 6 years
Current Occupation: Computer Science Degree – The University of Glasgow
In what ways did your experience at Belmont House School help to shape your personal and professional development?
My time at Belmont taught me valuable lessons and gave me crucial skills to succeed in my university course, my job, and my further career to come, as well as aiding my personal development as I grew into adulthood.
Could you tell us about the path you have taken since leaving Belmont, and how your time at the school prepared you for those next steps?
Since leaving Belmont, I have chosen to study for a degree in Computer Science in the University of Glasgow, and I’ve applied to a variety of internship opportunities in my field offered by large companies. My years spent at Belmont have helped me to create a strong personal statement and CV with my many achievements throughout the years.
Are there particular teachers, subjects, or experiences at Belmont that you feel made a lasting impact on you?
Choosing to study Higher and Advanced Higher Maths, primarily taught by Mr. Stevenson, has been crucial in developing my critical thinking and logical reasoning skills, which continue to benefit me in my studies and in life. A memorable experience that has had a lasting impact on me would be our school trip to NYC in 2024, which was a great opportunity to learn about a different part of the world, as well as spend time with my friends abroad.
What guidance would you offer to current Belmont pupils as they look ahead to their future studies and careers?
My main advice would be to make use of all the support the school has to offer. Attending after-school tutorials and seeking extra help from teachers has really helped me to manage the workload in my exam years. Furthermore, if you are unsure about which path in the future is right for you, speaking to your tutor, a subject teacher, or Mr Maguire can be very insightful and help you to make the right decision.
What does being part of the Belmont House School alumni community mean to you today?
The Belmont House School alumni community is a nice way to stay connected to my foundation, and keep in touch with all of the wonderful teachers and fellow students who’ve made a lasting impact on me.
Our thanks to Adam for sharing their experiences – would you like to feature as part of our Alumni of Belmont House School?
